*We’ve been hearing a lot about NBC’s new crime investigation show, “Deception,” that stars Meagan Good.
The show, that supposedly has a real intense vibe to it, is scheduled to premiere January 7. In the meantime, the network has put a pilot episode online to create some buzz. Scroll down to check it out.
If you’re wondering what “Deception” is all about, check out the synopsis:
When wealthy socialite and notorious party girl Vivian Bowers is found dead of an overdose, no one is really surprised. The heiress to the Bowers pharmaceutical empire has been tabloid fodder for years: wild, pretty, privileged … and now dead at the age of 32. But for FBI agent Will Moreno (Laz Alonso, Avatar), things don’t add up with this suspicious dynasty. Convinced the troubled girl’s death was a homicide, he has a clever plan to get to the truth. Her name is Detective Joanna Locasto (Meagan Good, Think Like a Man).
Twenty years ago Detective Joanna was Vivian’s best friend and practically grew up inside the Bowers’ home. And when she appears at Vivian’s funeral, the family re-embraces her, and no one is the wiser. Joanna quickly begins to uncover dark secrets and clues about why Vivian’s life was very much in danger. At the same time, she rekindles an old romantic relationship and rediscovers the allure of the luxurious lifestyle she once knew. She’s about to see once again just how the other half lives … and dies.
Thanks for sharing! One of the girls I work with at DISH showed me the trailer for this show the other day, and based off of what I saw I’m really excited to watch the show. It does give me a Revenge and Veronica Mars feel though, so I am really hoping that it goes its own direction through the season. I guess I’ll just have to wait and find out come January, so until then I’ll just keep an eye out for its premiere on my DVR. I did just upgrade to a DISH Hopper DVR and have PrimeTime Anytime enabled (records all of the major networks primetime shows each night automatically), so I don’t even have to remember to set an individual recording timer for this show when it airs. I can’t wait to see what it’s all about!
